      Slot machines are called one arm bandits. Cause the lever is called an arm and they take your money.

    The line “I ensure every bandit standing here has just one arm” is actually about the slot machines, the lever is called an arm, and they’re bandits cause they take ppl’s money

      Hence, they are often referred to as "one-armed bandits."

      Im pretty sure its a double meaning where bandits that come to Vegas will have their arms cut like in ancient punishments, while the only bandits in Vegas are slot machines, the one armed bandits.

      Remember, folks. Don't gamble in New Vegas unless your Luck stat is stupidly high. But if it _is_ stupidly high, then _ALWAYS GAMBLE._ Getting kicked out of all of the big casinos is an actual achievement.
      Take the House for all their money. Own the Strip. Be the biggest. Conquer the Dam.
      I fucking love this game. Buggy as shit and I don't care.

      @@thecursedgalleon7096 Eh, I _do_ really care about bugs. Bethesda has a habit of making legitimately good games, but doing so with an old-ass engine and rushing the game development to absurd levels.
      Just think of what New Vegas _could have been_ with another year of development.
      NPCs that spawn in places that instantly kill them (Quest important NPCs too), corpses that follow you when you fast-travel and revive if they're respawning corpses (thereby attacking NPCs), merchants that don't sell anymore because their inventory doesn't refresh, broken Quests in general, item flag issues, falling through the map, getting stuck and BECOMING ONE WITH THE MAP, critters spawning where they're not supposed to, et cetera et cetera.
      Look, I absolutely _love_ New Vegas. It's a great game, not just a good one. But it should've been even better... but Bethesda gonna Bethesda.
      If they remaster it and re-release it, that'd be awesome, but _that_ would come with new and interesting bugs too xD

    It’s a minor thing, but I always love how the song starts the refrain with “THE house always wins,” but as the refrain wraps up it echoes “House always wins” without the “the,” which is a great reference to House the character, the guy who, despite only being in “control” of a single city, has a well earned seat at the big boys table along side the other two major factions

      If he wasn't in the state he is in the game, he no doubt would have a greater control. He is smart enough that he could probably get the other faction to go against one another leaving him on top.

    fun fact: this song was made for a contest where different creators on youtube would makes songs for the different major factions of fallout new vegas. These factions were mr, house, the N.C.R (new california republic), and the legion. The reason these other songs dont exist is because this one was so good they didnt even want to try and go against it.

  • @lorrainebrunner2490
    @lorrainebrunner2490 Год назад +85

    Yeah. The original "The House Always Wins" is a classic. Arguably one of his top 5 songs imo. But I might be biased because I was actually introduced into his channel and maybe nerdcore rap as a whole through this song back when it was just released. So this song in particular means something to me. So I might have nostalgia glasses on 😅

      @BSRaven Год назад +6

      Yeah, this is one of those weird cases where 'both is good' definitely applies to House Always Wins and its Remaster.
      Original better hits the grittier, less polished edge that Fallout goes for unbelievably well with its relative scuff, and Remastered is a much cleaner song in general.

    • @lorrainebrunner2490
      @lorrainebrunner2490 Год назад +2

      @@BSRaven I like the original better because of the melancholy feel it gives me. Like "You did this. Now you're alone. And what's left is bad." Really emphasizing the anti-capitalists sentiment he used to have. But the new one just seems novel.. like, the punctuation on certain words are gone in favor of a smoother transition, and there are sound effects like chips dropping and parlor guy asking if anyone is taking a bet... idk, it feels like it's not taking the message of the song seriously, and focusing more on gambling than the shaming for having caused nuclear Armageddon. Maybe my personal preference though.

    There is a subtle unclear reference to the venture of the first entrepreneur in Rome if you paid attention to him, stating that why not make money in this situation "sweeping up the pyre".
    I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but given that House is an entrepreneur, it would be a solid thing to make reference to the first real-estate-fire response agency.

    "I ensure that every bandit standing here has just one arm."
    I just realized it meant the slot machines since they're usually rigged against you to steal your money, and they have one arm, the lever. And you'll notice that when he says that line, the background is a bunch of slot machines.

    I've seen a few comments in here about how New Vegas is not Bethesda. A touch of explanation for you New Vegas is considered to be the best fallout game in Bethesda handed over the development to Obsidian. So Bethesda is the one who published the game but they did not make the game Obsidian made the game. Because the fallout games have gone so downhill people are willing to throw hands over who made New Vegas cuz it is the best fallout game since Bethesda bought Fallout. To give you a good idea of why there are some upset people. 😂😂
